After yesterday's trip to the Berry Farm, we had to make a quick stop at the grocery store before heading home. When we got to the front of the store Sarah was disappointed to see that there weren't any "Car Shopping Carts" available. One of the young employees overheard her and he offered to check all the collection areas in the parking lot.
Within minutes, he appeared with a car shopping cart fit for two!

He totally made Sarah's day!

In true Reags fashion, she was a little skeptical at first, but as soon as the wheels of that cart were put into motion, the fingers came out of her mouth.....

And that big beautiful smile appeared!!

There were lots of giggles coming from the front of the cart and they caused quite a stir as we made our way up and down the aisles.

Usually, I do not take my camera to the grocery store but I happened to have it with me because of our trip to the strawberry farm. When I saw the look on the girls faces in that car, I knew the camera was going to come out of my bag. The very first aisle we hit in the store was completely empty so I acted quickly. That top photo was totally caught in the moment and makes me laugh every time I look at it! I also love how the seat between the two girls almost resembles a heart.

I hate those car carts, because they are SO hard to drive, but the kids sure do love them, don't they:)I love that radical blur in the first photo - simply awesome. I took over 100 photos fishing with Amelia yesterday and none of them are that sharp. I know it's not just the camera, but MAN those are unbelievable!

Your pictures are always SO incredible. :) And you have a Canon 5D? So jealous. My husband and I have been positively drooling over them the past few days...but I think my budget will only allow a 7d, when the time comes. :) Anyway...like I said, your pictures are always SO FANTASTIC!!!!!

Oh my, I love this series! The first picture is so cool ... you may need to fill us in on how you did that :)! The girls are darling ... oh the fun that can be had at the grocery store in those car carts.

Great, great photos Lisa! It's so fun to document seemingly mundane events such as grocery shopping, because these are just the things we don't want to forget. Love that first photo too...the radical blur is so fun!

fabulous post Lisa!We don't have grocery carts like that here, they're brilliant. I can imagine that kids love grocery shopping in this!I think the first photo looks as though they're in a tunnell.Love the Beep Beep one too!

These are SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously- just when I think you can't wow me anymore than you already do..... you go & do a post like this. I have told you before- but I will say it again, you inspire me in so many ways. Thank you!!

* after 5-10mins of "pushing" you will now notice that you are somewhat weak...perfectly normal...keep pushing

*after 20mins of "steering", your mixture will start to slowly become impossible to maneauver.

*at this point, be mindful of the NARROW AISLES, THE CUTESY DISPLAYS and oh yeah that customer who's is bent over in the aisle way and their rearend is practically consuming the aisle or the "deserted" basket that some "nice" customer abandoned to quickly grab some olives, two aisles over. Keeping pushing....your "fine"

*At this point, feel free to stop and catch and breath and inwardly CURSE the makers of this "parent trap". Believe me...It's perfectly Ok

Before proceeding to checkout counter, please visit the "Greeting card section". you will need this ingredient " place aside for further use

*Your "cake" is just about done (and literally...so are YOU). Now happily and wearily steer it towards the checkout counter, where now ALL the candy is at the eye level of "said kids".

*Proceed to pull each one from underneath with squeals of protest and request to "ride one more time".

*If you feel the need to inwardly curse the makers of this "parent trap" again...PLEASE DO SO!!! This will not "change" the recipe...ahem...it only gives it a "little more flavor"

*Before leaving the checkout counter, you will now "toss in the final ingredient". Yes..you will now toss in the item from the "greeting card" aisle. Place the SYMPATHY CARD inside the basket for the next Mommy for surely she will need it.

I could have sworn that I commented on these. Truly, they made me smile HUGE. Love the colours and the papers you used, and those two girlies in that top picture, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite that adorable in the supermarket!
